Interview<br />

with<br />

Mike<br />

Ehrenberg<br />

ON THE COVER<br />

<strong>The</strong> term “Swiss Army knife”<br />

was coined by American soldiers<br />

after World War II due to the<br />

difficulty they had in pronouncing<br />

“Offiziersmesser”, the German<br />

You spend your days building out end-to-end solutions for your<br />

customers, helping to address their needs and keeping them focused<br />

on their business.<br />

But have you spent much time thinking about what it takes for<br />

your organization to be the total package?<br />

This issue helps to address that very question. From a leadership<br />

perspective, Tracy Faleide looks at rounding out your roster on page 44;<br />

Peter Joeckel takes on the ins and outs of ERP systems with a tongue-in-cheek (or<br />

not at all, really) car metaphor on page 16; and our new contributor, Michelle Etherton of<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> Marketing Group, addresses what it takes to gain the “total package” moniker<br />

from a marketing perspective on page 38.<br />

You’ll also read my conversation with Mike Ehrenberg, the Microsoft technical fellow<br />

(both in title and general nature) responsible for Microsoft Dynamics R&D as well as an<br />

interview with AEC360, winner of the <strong>2016</strong> Microsoft Dynamics Industry Award.<br />

It’s anniversary time again: Thank you to Jane for 11 great years of service and to<br />

Bethany for taking good care of our marketing and communications for the past three<br />

years.<br />

Thank you to our advertisers and participants in <strong>The</strong> List for your commitment to the<br />

<strong>Partner</strong> community. We love seeing you in print (and online) and providing a platform<br />

for you to be seen.<br />

As a business owner, Peter built and<br />

eventually sold one of the fastest-growing<br />

and forward-thinking value-added software<br />

dealerships in the country. Its success was<br />

fueled by innovative software selection<br />

techniques and an outstanding project<br />

delivery team. He sold the organization in<br />

1999 to an e-commerce provider when<br />

it had grown in less than three years<br />

from zero to $6 million in annual revenue<br />

with more than 300 customers and 45<br />

employees. He has assisted in the selection<br />

and implementation of hundreds of ERP<br />

solutions and has been recognized for<br />

a customer’s needs rather than “pushing<br />

boxes of software.” Today, Peter focuses on<br />

helping companies select and implement<br />

ERP solutions by using advanced tools and<br />

processes that increase the likelihood of<br />

successful projects. His goal is to continue<br />

to improve those tools and processes to<br />

build value for customers and provide a<br />

smooth transition from the selection to<br />

implementation process.<br />

ON THE HOMEFRONT<br />

THINK<br />

Stars...<br />

story by JENNY DAVIS<br />

Let’s start this article out with a general understanding: I like Starbucks. A lot.<br />

It’s some kind of blend of over-roasted coffee and the music and the shade of green and<br />

those little vanilla bean scones.<br />

When Starbucks launched its gold card star program (likely not the official name), I<br />

downloaded the app and delighted in watching those little stars bounce around the virtual<br />

cup each time I made a purchase.<br />

(If you’re not familiar with the program, there were particular milestones that rewarded you with free and<br />

discounted drinks. Once you reached 30 stars, you were a gold card member for the next year, which had its own<br />

set of benefits. It was a sensory person’s dream, watching those stars collect and then trading them in for a prize.<br />

Yes, I’m aware that I was paying for the prize. You pay for it at Chuck E. Cheese as well. Now…back to the point.)<br />

Some sort of hubbub started to brew.<br />

Apparently people with too much time on their hands figured out how to cheat the system a bit, racking up stars<br />

on cheap(er) beverages and then cashing in their stars for more expensive drinks.<br />

Starbucks responded by revamping the program. <strong>The</strong>re were emails and a letter and in-app notifications and<br />

memos and store signage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stars went away and were replaced by points which become stars at some point and then become free drinks<br />

at some other point…and I honestly have no idea when that point is.<br />

Does this type of program sound familiar to you?<br />

A program that starts out easy and then grows in complexity over the years and then moves to another website<br />

and then gets a new name and then…and then…and then…<br />

We don’t have a whole lot of control over these types of programs in life, and hopefully you don’t lose too many<br />

hours of your day (or night) in reading through the fine print to make sure you’re not missing anything.<br />

We do, however, have control over the types of programs we create within our own teams, departments, and<br />

organizations at large.<br />

For example: When you explain a program to a customer or co-worker, do their eyes gloss over or do they nod<br />

in agreement? In the Skype world, is there stone-cold silence or is the person on the other end making some sort<br />

of acknowledgement?<br />

If you are met with glossy eyes or silence, take that as a cue that change may be in order.<br />

Now, don’t throw up your hands in disgust, figuring that the whole thing is garbage and you have to start over. It<br />

may be that a tweak to the wording or delivery can reduce the friction.<br />

While you have the glossy, silent one present, use them as your test case. (Politely) note that you feel as if you<br />

lost them and ask if they can articulate which part was difficult to understand. (This is where you stay smiling and<br />

friendly, without acting defensive. Some people are better at this than others, so pull a colleague in if you tend to<br />

struggle in this type of situation.)<br />

Now it’s time to turn those vague points back into stars. It might take a day, it might take a year, but you, your<br />

team, and your customers will be better off from your effort.<br />

LEADERSHIP<br />

Comes<br />

WHEN IT ALL<br />

Together<br />

story by BONNIE ROBERTSON<br />

It is a glorious memory, a story we like to share and celebrate at company events or when our<br />

teams need a confidence boost. Those clients, those projects, those situations when it all came<br />

together, and the end results were a cheering customer, a victorious team, and a profit to show for<br />

all the effort. While it is difficult to admit, these kinds of success stories are not as commonplace<br />

as we would like. In some cases, they become the exception rather than the rule. In our endless<br />

meetings and dialogues, we begin to ask ourselves, why did it work then but not now? Was it skillful<br />

planning? Was it healthier communication between all parties? Was it a wiser choice of client? Was it just “luck”?<br />

Over the years I have observed, facilitated, or participated in hundreds of client and project analyses where the<br />

question eventually arises, “Why is this situation not achieving the results we know we can achieve? Why is it not<br />

coming together this time?” I am not here to tell you that there is an easy answer or three magical keys or solutions<br />

that can achieve the results we imagine or know are possible. <strong>The</strong>re are those organizations that do display some<br />

repeatable habits that create those win-win success stories. <strong>The</strong>re are patterns that bring it all together as more of<br />

a standard than the exception. My observations are that these successes occur because of focus on the following<br />

categories: Product, people, process, and profit. Doesn’t everyone focus on these categories? Yes, but the best<br />

practices and outcomes of <strong>Partner</strong>s have some different twists as to what and when to focus.<br />

PRODUCT<br />

Starting with product, as we so often do in this industry, we must face certain realities. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are fantastic products in the market today, and over the years the leading business applications<br />

and add-on solutions have been greatly fine-tuned. However, there is NO perfect product.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no software that performs exactly the way a customer imagines it should. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

is no software that meets all the needs of the customer, which is why starting with<br />

product is not the best way to start. Software is not a service; rather, it is an enabler<br />

for services. Various software products that align with a customer’s business<br />

enable us to assist the customer in achieving what they hoped to when they<br />

decided to disrupt their business with new or additional technology. In<br />

order to provide this service, enabled by software, it requires the right<br />

people following the right processes before final product selection<br />

and implementation occur.<br />

PEOPLE<br />

A truly successful client service project requires<br />

people with skills at various levels. <strong>The</strong> best successes I<br />

have observed were people facilitating client needs and<br />

expectations long before the technically skilled implementers<br />

became involved. Why are the prospective clients looking<br />

to add or change technology? How do they anticipate this<br />

impacting their business processes? How do they anticipate<br />

the new technology impacting their teams? <strong>The</strong>ir customers?<br />

What is their change and transition plan as the technology is<br />

being introduced and further driven into their organizations?<br />

At this point, some of you will be saying, as I have heard it<br />

over the years…“that is the client’s problem…many of them don’t<br />

even agree on what they want.” This is true. Clients’ management<br />

14 SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM


teams have different expectations of why<br />

they are making this investment – and often<br />

times those expectations are not aligned<br />

or may even be in conflict. If that is the<br />

client’s problem, then as service providers, it<br />

becomes our problem, one way or the other.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best practices of <strong>Partner</strong> organizations<br />

that I have observed create courageous<br />

dialogue, genuine facilitation, and honest<br />

feedback from the very beginning. <strong>The</strong> lack<br />

of clarity of expectations in client projects<br />

has the potential of draining profits from a<br />

service business and perhaps even damaging<br />

our reputations for being able to deliver.<br />

You all know that effective interaction and<br />

communication with the client are important<br />

throughout the project, but never are they<br />

as critical as they are at this stage before a<br />

project plan is delivered and implementation<br />

begins. Skilled business facilitators in a<br />

service business establish a groundwork that<br />

creates long-term relationships and profits<br />

for both the client and the <strong>Partner</strong>.<br />

PROFIT<br />

When it all comes together, the client has achieved their goals, and the <strong>Partner</strong> organization has<br />

shown a profit in providing the services, which helped to make it happen. Far too often, project and<br />

client profits are not managed along the way. We focus on “billing” and “benchmarks” but do not<br />

align those with the larger picture, which must be profitable. Effectively managing project and client<br />

profitability is part of the overall management discipline that determines progress and success.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best of <strong>Partner</strong> companies are managing client needs, with project benchmarks, and are<br />

experiencing true project profits. Here again, the management discipline of courageous facilitation<br />

and rigorous data can catch or even prevent problems that drain the profit from our services.<br />

Bringing it all together to achieve the greatest success possible for our customers, our teams,<br />

and our company involves best practices of rigorous discipline and constant reality checks. As<br />

one well-experienced entrepreneur once told me, “Hey, if it was easy, any damn fool could do it!”<br />

That sounds like a great market differentiator!<br />

PROCESS<br />

Just as there is not a perfect product<br />

or client, there is not a perfect process.<br />

But consistent overall management<br />

process matters the most. Yes, there<br />

are implementation processes, project<br />

management processes, and client<br />

feedback processes, and most <strong>Partner</strong><br />

organizations are proficient at these. But<br />

the most successful service companies<br />

have an overall process that connects<br />

consistently all the other processes together<br />

in a continual evaluation of progress. <strong>The</strong><br />

intent is not to add complication to the<br />

business or create unnecessary meetings.<br />

<strong>The</strong> intent has to be to maintain the overall<br />

picture and vision of what was established<br />

as the desired outcome for both the client<br />

as well as our organization in the very<br />

beginning. It is a form of management<br />

discipline that is based on reality and<br />

open dialogue. While one size does not<br />

fit all, management process fits all sizes<br />

of organizations, clients, and projects.<br />

Without it, we come to a point where we<br />

ask ourselves, “What went wrong? Why<br />

are we so far behind? Why does the client<br />

refuse to pay the recent invoice?” All of<br />

which are after the fact. It is not easy to ask<br />

hard questions when we want to believe<br />

that projects and clients are humming<br />

along, or that the prospect of the next<br />

biggest deal is right around the corner.<br />

Truth is much easier to manage before<br />

overlooked problems derail progress.<br />

SALES<br />

IF CARS WORKED LIKE<br />

ERP Systems<br />

story by PETER JOECKEL<br />

illustration by MATT MASTRUD<br />

Is anyone else fascinated with the one minor problem that all ERP systems have?<br />

<strong>The</strong> problem is that they all fail.<br />

Yes…all.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y fail spectacularly and bring down entire companies and careers, or they fail incrementally<br />

by slowly sucking time, money, and the will to live out of organizations, but they all fail.<br />

If we define a successful ERP implementation as one being delivered:<br />

» On time<br />

» On budget<br />

» And with promised functionality<br />

Well, then based on that completely reasonable set of requirements,<br />

all ERP systems fail.<br />

Amazingly, companies keep buying new ERP systems.<br />

That got me to thinking: Let’s assume for a moment that<br />

cars, and by extension, new car sales, worked like ERP<br />

system sales and implementations.<br />

As you jubilantly accelerate down the street,<br />

the wheels fall off. <strong>The</strong> engine starts smoking,<br />

and you manage to get out just before the<br />

car blows up in a huge fireball.<br />

THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | | SUMMER SPRING <strong>2016</strong> 17


SCENARIO 1<br />

After plunking down a sum of money equal to or greater than the GDP of several small countries on that<br />

brand new ride that you have been eyeing, you finish the paperwork and drive off the lot, intoxicated by that rich<br />

Corinthian leather aroma (also known as “new car smell” for people not as old as me).<br />

As you jubilantly accelerate down the street, the wheels fall off. <strong>The</strong> engine starts smoking, and you manage to<br />

get out just before the car blows up in a huge fireball.<br />

Returning to the dealership with singed eyebrows and a slight limp, you are informed that, “that particular minor<br />

issue” is not covered in your contract.<br />

Bonus points: Read the “shrink wrap” contract on your ERP software. Go ahead…we can wait.<br />

SCENARIO 2<br />

Same as above in regards to forking over loads of cash, but as you drive off the lot, you notice that you have no<br />

doors, no hood, no stereo, and no AC. <strong>The</strong> result is the same as above, but the dealer blames his outsourced service<br />

department that just went out of business for failing to install those correctly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new outsourced service department, when reached via a phone call to an overseas location, only has the<br />

needed parts for last year’s model, but an upgrade is expected any day…for an additional fee, of course.<br />

SCENARIO 3<br />

After once again plunking down an arm and a leg, you are told to walk home and to check back frequently in case<br />

your car is ready. After months of calls, you buy a bike. A bike bike…not a motorcycle. You are broke.<br />

Would anyone buy cars under this sales and delivery model? How do we continue to get away with it in the ERP<br />

software industry?<br />

Oh wait…I know…the next release is the BEST ever! And it is going to empower every person in the organization<br />

with a rich user experience and immersive content!<br />

It’s upgrade time!<br />

MARKETING<br />

Building Your<br />

Machine<br />

Marketing<br />

story by ADRIANNE MACHINA<br />

illustration by DAVE SWANG<br />

Many businesses struggle to create consistency in their marketing because they don’t<br />

have a marketing machine that will produce leads or identify warm prospects at will.<br />

Consulting companies in particular are vulnerable to variability in project work –<br />

especially in the beginning – but even larger companies can never put their guard<br />

down. You can’t put expensive consultants and programmers on the shelf and wait<br />

for the economy to pick up next year. Cash flow typically evens out once you have<br />

systems in place. Systems help predict cash flow, resource gaps, and areas of opportunity.<br />

YOU DO BELIEVE IN SYSTEMS, RIGHT?<br />

You must. You sell systems. So, let me ask…do you have a marketing system in place? Many businesses have<br />

systems for everything except marketing – or their marketing systems are cobbled together and their processes are<br />

undocumented.<br />

To get to the next level of growth, you need a solid foundation to build on. Your marketing software can be the<br />

one thing you need to achieve the next level of success.<br />

MARKETERS, START YOUR ENGINES!<br />

And keep ’em running! If you keep your baseline marketing engine running all the time, you can hit the accelerator<br />

when you need more business and ease off when you want to coast for a while. However, if you turn your marketing<br />

efforts off completely for too long, it takes a lot of fuel (time and money) – and sometimes expensive repairs – to<br />

start back up again.<br />

<strong>The</strong> way to keep your marketing going at all times is to use the right marketing tools. Technology can make a huge<br />

difference in your results, and in your ability to measure results. At the minimum, you need:<br />

» An updateable website<br />

» An email marketing system<br />

» A social media marketing system<br />

» A contact database<br />

» A lead management system<br />

» A marketing calendar<br />

» A customer support system<br />

» Reporting/analytics software<br />

If those are all different systems, that becomes a lot to manage! Instead, many businesses are turning to all-in-one<br />

systems, ISVs with built-in integration to their CRM, and affordable marketing automation solutions. A report from<br />

Software Advice shows that 98 percent of small businesses looking at marketing automation are doing so for the<br />

first time. Almost 47 percent of those buyers are coming from manual marketing methods. Marketing technology is<br />

finally easy enough and affordable enough for even the smallest of businesses.<br />

USE AUTOMATION TO YOUR ADVANTAGE<br />

If you are new to marketing automation, here are some tips to get started:<br />

» Set up welcome messages – not just one automated reply. When someone downloads your free piece<br />

of content and opts into your email marketing system, send them a burst of emails in a short time, let’s say four<br />

the first week, to make sure they are digesting the content they just downloaded. Offer personal assistance if you<br />

can. You can set up auto-responders to go out for weeks and months into the future.<br />

» Create clear steps for every product/campaign. Your marketing funnel might be very simple. Step one is<br />

to get them to download an eBook. Step 2 is to get them to watch a video. Step 3 is for them to attend a webinar.<br />

Step 4 is for them to agree to an intro call. <strong>The</strong>n at that point, they are marketing qualified and would be turned<br />

over to sales. Keep the focus on making these messages educational while at the same time including the next<br />

offer to pull them deeper into the marketing funnel.<br />

» Move people to different lists/segments based on behavior. When someone takes you up on an<br />

offer, you don’t want them to keep receiving solicitations to take that step. Set up automation so that they are<br />

automatically tagged or moved to a new list when they buy, hit a specific webpage, watch a video, attend a<br />

webinar, or whatever you set as your marketing goal for that campaign.<br />

» Set up automatic lead scoring. A simple system is to give each prospect five points every time they visit<br />

your website, 10 points when they download a document, and 20 points when they attend a webinar. Now you<br />

instantly know which leads to pursue.<br />

» Integrate social with your contact list. Pull in big data. <strong>The</strong> more you know about your customer, the<br />

better decisions you can make about which deals to pursue. People are interacting everywhere. Create a fuller<br />

relationship with your prospects and customers by listening to what they are saying on social media, and then<br />

interacting with them.<br />

» Notify people internally. Keep other people in the office informed automatically by assigning tasks once your<br />

prospects complete certain actions.<br />

“”<br />

A report from Software Advice shows that 98 percent<br />

of small businesses looking at marketing automation are<br />

doing so for the first time. Almost 47 percent of those buyers<br />

are coming from manual marketing methods.<br />

22 SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM


» Send out satisfaction surveys. After a webinar, event, sale, or go-live, you can set up rules to survey the<br />

customer to solicit feedback or even online reviews for your company.<br />

» Weed your list. Many busy professionals are so inundated with email that instead of taking the time to<br />

unsubscribe, they just hit delete. If someone hasn’t opened your emails in a while, first look at what you might<br />

do better or differently. Are you personalizing your emails? Is your content interesting? Is your targeting on<br />

point? Are you sending at the right frequency? Once you’ve looked inward, use automation to re-engage these<br />

sleepers. If they still don’t respond, remove them from your list. Yes, I said it! Those ghost emails hurt your<br />

deliverability.<br />

ADD THE HUMAN TOUCH<br />

At the end of the day, no matter how consistent or automated your marketing is, your marketing results will only<br />

be as good as the people you have doing the marketing. You need interesting stories, strong visuals, and compelling<br />

offers. You also need someone who can think sequentially through all the steps to make sure the right message is<br />

getting to the right person. <strong>The</strong> final cog in your marketing machine is the person – or people – who will plan and<br />

execute your marketing strategy.<br />

Don’t be afraid of the marketing machine. Make it your friend, and it will make you money!<br />

TPC INTERVIEW<br />

Ehrenberg<br />

MIKE<br />

TECHNICAL FELLOW FOR MICROSOFT CORPORATION<br />

By personality and also by title, Mike Ehrenberg is a Technical Fellow, a title held by only about 30 people at<br />

Microsoft. Mike leads the Microsoft Dynamics ERP R&D organization, and after 38 years in banking and ERP roles,<br />

he still has a passion for figuring out how things work and how to make them work better. We talked with Mike<br />

about the last year in Microsoft Dynamics R&D, what he sees as the greatest opportunities for <strong>Partner</strong> success,<br />

and where he continues to find inspiration for his work.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Channel</strong> (TPC): This last year brought a wave of change to Microsoft Dynamics ERP, with the release of<br />

the new Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics GP <strong>2016</strong> plus the impending release of Microsoft Dynamics<br />

NAV “Madeira”. After moving these “big rocks”, how do you focus on what’s next?<br />

Mike Ehrenberg (ME): To start, one of the things that’s very important to us is being obsessed with listening to our customers.<br />

As much fun as it would be to sit in the ivory tower and decide where we want to go, we get our best signal from listening to<br />

customers.<br />

One of the things we’ve been able to do, particularly in Microsoft Dynamics AX but Madeira as well, is building in telemetry<br />

so we’re getting constant signal from customers’ systems as far as what is being used, what is not, what’s performing, and<br />

what’s not working. In addition to what we get from talking to customers, their systems are now talking to us too. This gives<br />

us an amazing picture of how our work is landing and where we need to drive next.<br />

I appreciate the point you had with the big rocks being moved, but don’t think we ever feel like we’re finished with those.<br />

It would be wrong to think that our cloud transition is behind us. I’m excited about what we were able to achieve and the<br />

feedback from the market and analysts is that they’re excited as well, which has led to more successful and rapid deployments.<br />

Right now we’re doing a ton around scale and driving costs down. We’re also making commitments around security and<br />

privacy, really investing every day to make our customers’ data more secure. A long set of work that we’re doing across the<br />

products is to enhance the speed, efficiency, and reliability with which we can run and update services while letting customers<br />

discover both what we’ve done and what our <strong>Partner</strong>s have built, try those products out, get provisioned, and deploy. That<br />

part of our work is continuously being worked on and delivered.<br />

When we look at the big ambitions across Microsoft, in addition to cloud, there’s a focus on how we reinvent business<br />

processes and productivity. How do we make the experience with the product more natural? What are the processes our<br />

customers can do differently in a world where virtually everybody has a phone in their hand? How do we look at interactions<br />

with customers, users, and suppliers in that world? You’ll continue to see us innovating and doing new things in that area.<br />

And back to the telemetry, what can we do with that data and incredibly analytic assets in the cloud platform so that these<br />

systems are not just passive recorders of data but connected with things that Bing might understand, helping customers make<br />

better decisions quicker and become more competitive.<br />

Taking advantage of this intelligence platform – turning it into solutions that customers can deploy – is a huge <strong>Partner</strong><br />

opportunity and a place where we are really looking to build off <strong>Partner</strong> expertise, specifically vertical expertise. We’ve shown<br />

great examples of this with the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it’s being used with Azure Machine Learning to empower a<br />

new predictive maintenance model for Caterpillar heavy equipment.<br />

24 SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM


We’ll start to see IoT across the Microsoft Dynamics products, as<br />

well as a greater tie-in between Microsoft Dynamics and Cortana<br />

to surface insights in a natural way and discover times when voice<br />

is the right way to talk to the system, and how do we do things<br />

with conversation as a platform to increase the ability of customers<br />

to get information to and from Microsoft Dynamics in a natural,<br />

pervasive way.<br />

TPC: Your reference to <strong>Partner</strong>s starts to answer my next question:<br />

What do you see as the greatest possibility for innovation<br />

amongst <strong>Partner</strong>s?<br />

ME: Much of the work we did around Lifecycle Services (LCS) is<br />

showcasing the new energy we want to drive into our ISV solution<br />

marketplace. <strong>The</strong> marketplace is a great environment for customers<br />

to discover solutions and yet tie into the whole way the ecosystem<br />

works. Leads are being passed to the ISVs based on people looking<br />

at solutions and expressing interest, and that’s a very exciting change.<br />

Also, there’s always been a premium on vertical expertise and<br />

where appropriate, mapping that into vertical IP. That’s always been<br />

a great sweet spot for <strong>Partner</strong>s and will continue to be a place of<br />

differentiation and driving value. At one of our U.S. <strong>Partner</strong> Industry<br />

Summits, we had a great speaker who talked about the success rates<br />

of different types of <strong>Partner</strong>s:<br />

» <strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> that could come in and get things going had a<br />

particular win rate;<br />

» <strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> that could tell the customer something about their<br />

business had a dramatically higher win rate;<br />

» <strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> that had depth around vertical and could help the<br />

customer disrupt their business had an even higher win rate.<br />

When you develop tremendous expertise and talk the talk and walk<br />

the walk in your customers’ verticals, that is a great avenue for success.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other thing is really understanding what customers are after in<br />

a world that is defined by the cloud and the expectations of consumer<br />

apps used in the cloud. One dimension is speed. When a customer<br />

sees a solution, they want to try it now, and speed of download and<br />

use are expectations.<br />

We see some <strong>Partner</strong>s that are getting good at repeatability and doing<br />

it in a way that supports future fast upgrades, no longer getting into long<br />

implementations. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, we had some<br />

new <strong>Partner</strong>s that made it their business model to focus on customers<br />

that wanted rapid implementations. <strong>The</strong>y drove that, repeated it,<br />

and have been quite successful. I would encourage <strong>Partner</strong>s to give us<br />

feedback when there are things we can do to drive that even more.<br />

TPC: Last year a reorganization brought Microsoft Dynamics<br />

into the Cloud and Enterprise (C+E) group. How has moving into<br />

C+E changed your R&D leadership?<br />

ME: <strong>The</strong> move into C+E has been outstanding. As we look across<br />

Madeira and the new Microsoft Dynamics AX, all the hard technical<br />

work that we had to do was about how do we build something that<br />

excels in the Microsoft cloud. <strong>The</strong> ability to be part of the same<br />

org, at the same team leadership meetings, and much more closely<br />

connected at a company level, has dramatically improved our ability<br />

to do things right in terms of innovation.<br />

We’ve always had great relationships between the teams – that has<br />

always been done really well – but now we’re able to use the platform<br />

in the best possible way, and the acceleration over the last year has<br />

been outstanding.<br />

<strong>The</strong> flip of that – which is the really exciting part – is the way in<br />

which things like Microsoft Dynamics AX and Madeira are helping<br />

drive requirements into the platform to make it better. <strong>The</strong>re’s a long<br />

list of things, but looking specifically at Power BI: <strong>The</strong> solution is now<br />

embedded into Microsoft Dynamics AX so customers don’t have to leave<br />

Microsoft Dynamics AX to look at BI. That’s been incredibly popular<br />

with customers but also benefits Power BI as it’s being improved from<br />

customer feedback and driven to ISVs across the ecosystem.<br />

TPC: How about connections with teams like Office 365? Are<br />

those interactions a bit more streamlined?<br />

ME: With regard to the Office 365 team and others, more than the<br />

reorg itself, it goes back to the company’s mission of reinventing<br />

business processes, and productivity has shaped the way we work<br />

together. We need to think about how people do their work, where<br />

they do their work, and going back to the Microsoft mission, we need<br />

to empower them to achieve more.<br />

We’re doing tremendous stuff in Madeira in this area. For example,<br />

when I get an email from a customer, the system will show me what<br />

actions I might have to take. We have a shared mandate to bring<br />

Office, Mail, and Skype together with business applications, and<br />

we’ve done great things with more great things to come.<br />

TPC: Where do you find inspiration after 15 years in banking, 10<br />

in ERP apps, and now 13 with Microsoft Dynamics ERP?<br />

ME: We’ve talked about it, and it comes down to two things: I’ve been<br />

very, very lucky to do a lot of work in applications but focused on<br />

underlying technology. At the beginning of that banking time, I was<br />

doing OS development. <strong>The</strong> platform and its impact on things are<br />

important pieces to me. I’ve been through multiple technology waves.<br />

I built banking systems on proprietary hardware on proprietary OS,<br />

moved to Unix, moved to DOS, moved to Windows. In my ERP work, I<br />

participated in the transition from client server to web to cloud-based,<br />

and from green screen to original graphical to where we are today.<br />

Every time you go through these transitions, you learn things that<br />

help you both be better about the next one and inspire you to really<br />

invest in the next one to achieve whatever the next level of potential<br />

may be. <strong>The</strong> platform and architecture for these things are a passion<br />

for me, and it’s very easy to always be learning and at the same time<br />

taking advantage of the experience from doing it before.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second point of inspiration comes from customers. I learn<br />

from every customer engagement, whether that’s from being on the<br />

phone, in the briefing center, or, especially, on site.<br />

When I go into a retail store, a back office, warehouse, or a factory,<br />

I watch what the users are trying to do, watching what works well<br />

and when they are struggling. That really lands with me. It’s what I<br />

see when I’m walking around and is the kind of stuff that makes it<br />

exciting to keep trying to figure out how we can make things better<br />

for our customers and the experiences they deliver to their customers.<br />

TPC: Over your career, what are you most proud of?<br />

ME: That’s an interesting question, and one that I think about often. <strong>The</strong><br />

biggest source of pride for me is the people I’ve had the ability to work<br />

with and have a hand in helping their careers get to a new level. When<br />

you’re able to help people achieve more, that has a great lasting impact.<br />

I think the other source of pride for me is customers seeing great<br />

value from products we’ve delivered for a long time. When that<br />

translates to customers seeing growth and success in their business<br />

powered by our products, and career success for the people that bet<br />

on us, that’s a great feeling.<br />

Sure, there are a couple of individual bits of code that I remain<br />

proud of after a long period of time, but it is really about the longterm<br />

positive impact for our people and our customers that feel really<br />

good.<br />

Princess. Fireman. Astronaut. Teacher. Many kids have an idea of what<br />

they want to be when they grow up. I was not that child. Things I<br />

was really good at: Putting items back where they belonged, helping<br />

around the house, making friends, trusting strangers, forcing my<br />

little brother to ask for my drink refills.<br />

Much to my mother’s dismay, she was constantly having to train<br />

my heart to be more protected. If it weren’t for her brutal honesty and Dateline episodes,<br />

I would have happily walked off with a stranger looking for their puppy. In my youth, both<br />

of my parents encouraged me to grow my social wings, try new adventures while balancing<br />

danger with safety, and make the most out of my circumstances.<br />

Fast forward a great deal to college. I’ll be honest; not much had changed: I trusted everyone<br />

and would put off studying for a big test to be with people. Majoring in business administration<br />

seemed like a no-brainer as it would prepare me for the workforce and, in-turn, guarantee I<br />

could pay those undesirable, inevitable bills. I was right, but as I angled my way through jobs<br />

after graduation, something seemed to be missing. <strong>The</strong>n it dawned on me: I was working a job,<br />

not a career. Why should I settle for a job at a time when so much is at my reach?<br />

I asked myself, what does a career look like?<br />

For years, I’d been told I was creative, but I had no formal training. I knew I loved<br />

strategy, but I never worked in positions that allowed me to expand in that way. I made a<br />

great assistant by being able to see things two and three steps ahead of those around me.<br />

(That one, I’ve decided, is a curse.)<br />

Deciding to follow in my father’s footsteps, I picked up a camera and started to shoot.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, one day, I was handed a copy of Photoshop, and it was all over. Friends, family,<br />

and complete strangers began asking me for little pieces of graphic design: Wedding<br />

invitations, logos, banners, brochures, advertisements, the list goes on. Minutes turned<br />

into hours, and I was completely unaware. I had found it: My zone.<br />

In 2008, Integrity Data hired me as a contract employee for, you’ve got it, data entry. My<br />

beloved affair with Microsoft Dynamics CRM began. I struggled with my internal need to<br />

organize data and desire to create pretties. Integrity Data just couldn’t get enough of me<br />

and offered a full-time position after the grueling hours of research, copy, paste, research,<br />

copy, paste finally came to an end. In what? Accounting and sales ops.<br />

Through those initial years, I had my hands in CRM daily, but a new element had been<br />

introduced: Human interaction! Never mind my distaste for numbers; I was willing to work<br />

up quotes and invoices because I got to help you, our <strong>Partner</strong>s. I thought I had reached it,<br />

the complete package. Interacting with people, learning names – it was so worth it.<br />

As I sat quietly at my desk working through receivables, my manager called me into his<br />

office. Gulp. Was this it? Did they finally tire of my corny jokes and office supplies obsession?<br />

Had sniffing the mail, magazines, and Post-it notes irreversibly weirded them out?<br />

No.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y wanted me…ME…to take lead on the marketing efforts while they searched for<br />

a new director of marketing. I was speechless. (That hasn’t been a problem since, in case<br />

you were concerned.) It got better. We hired an amazing leader and a wonderful mentor.<br />

Marleen De Winter joined the team. Every day, I am aware of the rare gift I have in Marleen.<br />

Honestly, I don’t remember much from those first months, because it seems as though we<br />

have always been a team.<br />

Marleen has ushered me into opportunities that have enhanced my strengths, gifts and<br />

desires. I get the chance daily to improve processes for our customers and <strong>Partner</strong>s, create<br />

all the graphics and digital artwork my little heart can handle, organize and prepare our<br />

dapper sales team for events across the country, and on occasion, attend them myself.<br />

People are the center of my daily activities.<br />

I’m trying really hard not to be completely cheesy or bore you with details, because the<br />

fact is simple: I have found my career. I am in the zone. I have a desire to grow. I work with<br />

people who care about the customer, care about the <strong>Partner</strong>, and care about each other. I<br />

have a manager who wants me to succeed as much as she, herself, wants to succeed.<br />

I have: <strong>The</strong> total package.<br />

LEADERSHIP<br />

Management<br />

FULL-SERVICE PROJECT<br />

story by PAM McGEE<br />

GET OUT OF THE<br />

DETAILS, KEEP IT<br />

SIMPLE, AND GET THE<br />

WORK DONE<br />

What do you think<br />

of when you hear<br />

the phrase “fullservice”?<br />

I think of a<br />

full-service gas station<br />

where I would go with<br />

my grandpa or a full-service spa where I went<br />

with my friend Kathy in Vegas (no more about<br />

Vegas).<br />

<strong>The</strong> concept of full-service seems to be<br />

dwindling in importance and is being replaced<br />

with mega service, niche services, or worse yet, no<br />

service at all. Although this isn’t an article on service<br />

per se, I think we have done the same thing with<br />

our project management mentality. We have lost the<br />

essence of the project management culture, which is<br />

to provide service to others – full-service – and help<br />

get things done. Although not a “formal” definition,<br />

when I think of full-service project management, it is<br />

“providing service to others to help get things done.”<br />

With the onset of agile, automated tools, and the<br />

tenacious focus on methodology and terms, it seems that<br />

we have become more focused on the ideology and practice<br />

of project management instead of project management as<br />

a best practice to help people get the right stuff done for<br />

the customer within the natural world of constraints and<br />

budgets. As the chair of the professional project management<br />

program at Minnesota State University–Moorhead, don’t<br />

get me wrong, I respect the rules, concepts, processes, and<br />

standards of project management; however, when we lose<br />

sight of the “helping” mentality, we lose sight of what a project<br />

management culture truly is. If you ever have worked with a<br />

project manager who focuses so much on document creation<br />

and following the rules, you know what it’s like to have to go<br />

GET OUT OF THE<br />

SIMPLE AND GET<br />

around them to actually get the project done. A full-service project management practice is intended to incorporate<br />

leadership, customer service, and best practices and is agile enough to adapt to the changing whims of the customers.<br />

Full-service project management focuses on these items: 1. Project managers are taxed with helping get the work<br />

done and leading others, not just organizing the work for others. 2. Project managers are tasked with training other<br />

people to be project managers, even if they don’t have the formal title. 3. <strong>The</strong> kick-off meeting is required, and<br />

anyone interested can come, not just a select few. 4. All managers respect and know the process so they can support<br />

the culture, not usurp it.<br />

Project managers taxed with getting work done obsess about getting the work done; they obsess about<br />

leadership, and they obsess about organizing. <strong>The</strong>y are contrarians to the dilemma where a project manager<br />

creates endless meetings, more paperwork, and actually distracts from the momentum. In a full-service project<br />

management culture, the project manager offers full services and minimizes the amount of work for people and<br />

almost becomes a one-stop shop. <strong>The</strong>re is a cultural norm where project management paperwork is considered a<br />

voodoo practice. <strong>The</strong>re is no SharePoint because no one reads it anyway. <strong>The</strong>re is not an endless stream of change<br />

orders documented to save face. Instead the team goes thorough intense trust-building processes, and trust is<br />

embedded in the culture and the performance management processes so when something needs to change, we<br />

can trust people will do what is right for the customer, not be mandated to do so because a change order has been<br />

documented. Change orders are only used when the price, quality, or deadline is severely compromised. Also, when<br />

people violate the “full-service” mentality, which is more of “what can you do for me” instead of the opposite, they<br />

are fired. Just kidding; that’s too strong, but they are not rewarded for individual meritocracy but for how much<br />

they helped someone else get something done. It would be nirvana for me if it was so overdone in a company that<br />

someone hit someone with their handbag for helping them (like the woman being over-helped to cross the street<br />

by the Boy Scout).<br />

Project managers are taxed with training other people. In the ’80s, it was very popular to have a “customer<br />

service” department; now in most cases, the customer service “department” is an expectation for everyone.<br />

Everyone in the company is in customer service, modeling the Zappos example. I think the next evolution of the<br />

full-service PM mentality is that everyone in the company is a project manager, and the project manager role and<br />

department become a shared service to equip everyone to manage their projects with the same language, processes,<br />

and flexibility throughout the company. At any time, anyone in the company should be equipped to provide project<br />

expertise as they were equipped to provide customer service. To have people embody the project management<br />

culture and skill set, the company leadership team needs to set it as an expectation, as they did when they said<br />

“Service is everyone’s business.” It would sound like “PM is everyone’s job”. <strong>The</strong>y also need to train people. Project<br />

management is not a natural skill set for some of us; but it is definitely one that can be learned and easily adapted<br />

to your situation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> kickoff meeting is required for projects, and anyone can come. Typically, in the PM world, kickoff<br />

meetings are scheduled for the elite, and then in the next six to 12 months, the PM spends time trying to manage<br />

multiple stakeholders who come out of the woodwork and were not invited, feel left out, and are now angry with<br />

you! Put the accountability back on the people and invite everyone, those that don’t show up and have a problem<br />

can’t say, “you didn’t tell me!” Well, they can say that, but in my mind you can handle that with a much different<br />

conversation – if you know what I mean! <strong>The</strong> theory is that instead of spending time uncovering information hidden<br />

under a rock, spend time creating an environment for those who feel affected by, can contribute to, and feel they<br />

need to know. I never understood why we would spend months trying to analyze and manage stakeholders when we<br />

32 SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM


DETAILS, KEEP IT<br />

THE WORK DONE<br />

could just have an “open meeting” type<br />

philosophy where you come if you feel<br />

you can provide service to the project, the<br />

issue, or the cause. If you come though<br />

and become a disruption or show up like<br />

the “one huge” naysayer at a city council<br />

meeting, the group can ask that you not<br />

come, and then you have to deal with<br />

the consequences of your own behavior.<br />

After all, we are adults, are we not?<br />

All managers know the processes<br />

and can support the full-service<br />

culture, not usurp it. Just as most<br />

customer service driven companies have<br />

expectations on serving a customer, fullservice<br />

project management companies<br />

have expectations on those who “violate”<br />

the normative project management<br />

culture by going back to “overuse of<br />

paperwork”, big long words and meetings,<br />

and the creation of more work. <strong>The</strong> reward<br />

for supporting the full-service PM concept<br />

will be magnified, and the consequence for<br />

not will take care of itself because you will<br />

find yourself not being included in the fun<br />

projects, or worse yet, not having people<br />

who will work on your projects!<br />

Project management is meant to<br />

serve, not command or dictate. If you<br />

remember that philosophy, the rest falls<br />

into place. Recently, one of my favorite<br />

cousins passed away. He had a simple life<br />

on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin and<br />

didn’t need a fancy set of tools to get stuff<br />

done; he just did the work. My hunch<br />

is he would have agreed with one of my<br />

favorite quotes: “If I’d had more time,<br />

I’d had written a shorter letter.” (Mark<br />

Twain). <strong>The</strong>y both would have been<br />

phenomenal project managers because<br />

they didn’t understand complexity.<br />

Management<br />

better partner<br />

=<br />

Performance<br />

better channel<br />

story by Dana Citron illustration by shawn Olson<br />

<strong>Channel</strong> management is among the more challenging roles in today’s high-tech company. And yet,<br />

according to Accenture, it’s also among the most important to get right: On average about 70 percent<br />

of the typical high-tech company’s revenue comes from the indirect channel.<br />

In the years we’ve been working with ISVs in the channel, we’ve noticed that often a lack of<br />

good management tools leaves them resorting to inefficient management modes that – rather than<br />

enabling <strong>Partner</strong>s – limits them or drives them to focus on other ISVs’ products.<br />

For Better <strong>Channel</strong> Performance, Stop Trying to Control <strong>Partner</strong>s<br />

<strong>The</strong> problem with trying to control <strong>Partner</strong>s is that it doesn’t work. We’ve seen ISVs attempt it, but all they end<br />

up doing is overworking their own internal resources and irritating their <strong>Partner</strong>s.<br />

What does work to improve channel performance is implementing a good <strong>Partner</strong> relationship management<br />

(PRM) system. It won’t give you control, but it will give you the next best things: Visibility and influence.<br />

34 summer <strong>2016</strong> | thepartnerchannel.com


Visibility improves when you can resolve issues around registering deals, distributing leads, and tracking market<br />

development funds (MDF). And <strong>Partner</strong>s are willing to be influenced by ISVs who are easy to work with and don’t<br />

get in the way of them selling. A well-designed PRM system gives ISVs the visibility they need to better manage<br />

performance and the influence necessary to lead <strong>Partner</strong>s to better sales performance.<br />

Instead of controlling, ISVs should focus on enabling <strong>Partner</strong>s, an approach that will differentiate them from<br />

other ISVs. As Ali Din points out in the <strong>2016</strong> State of <strong>Channel</strong> Marketing report published by <strong>Channel</strong> Marketer<br />

Report, “In a time when experimentation is critical, ISVs’ channel marketing programs are inflexible…Only a few<br />

ISVs have been able to truly enable their <strong>Partner</strong>s.”<br />

GET THE VISIBILITY YOU NEED – WHILE ALSO SHOWING YOU RESPECT<br />

PARTNERS’ TIME<br />

<strong>Partner</strong>s are busy, and they don’t want to be micromanaged. We’ve worked with hundreds of ISVs facing this<br />

challenge: How do you walk the line between staying in front of <strong>Partner</strong>s’ sales mind without regularly annoying<br />

them for the data or information you need to manage performance?<br />

It’s a balancing act that requires consistent attention, but the best way an ISV can show they value <strong>Partner</strong>s’<br />

time is to employ a management system that enables better business processes between the ISV, all their different<br />

<strong>Partner</strong>s, and their customers. You want to be on their mind – but in a good way.<br />

A PRM system can allow ISVs that visibility, without demanding a lot of desk time from <strong>Partner</strong> sales reps. Having<br />

a solution in place that allows ISVs to not only receive and push information to their <strong>Partner</strong>s one time, but also<br />

on an ongoing basis, keeps ISVs from being that annoying company, the one constantly hounding their <strong>Partner</strong>s.<br />

Unobtrusive and simple information exchange between <strong>Partner</strong> and ISV is the goal. PRM can enable easy input<br />

of data and stress-free navigation. It lets <strong>Partner</strong>s get their job done quickly and doesn’t force them to jump through<br />

unnecessary hoops.<br />

This requires ISVs to have a clear communication process, but when that’s in place, <strong>Partner</strong>s are much more inclined<br />

to log in and provide any missing data points around leads and deals. It’s helpful to look at the process from the <strong>Partner</strong>’s<br />

point of view. <strong>The</strong>y have dozens of portals they need to engage with, all different. If yours is intuitive and complete, you<br />

give them an extra incentive to give you the information you need, and it’s more likely that info will be accurate.<br />

WHY CRM ALONE WON’T SUFFICE IN THE CHANNEL<br />

Visibility and influence are not as well-served by using CRM (customer relationship management) to manage <strong>Partner</strong>s.<br />

In his book “<strong>Channel</strong> Revolution”, Stefan Utzinger says, “It’s crucial for the proper execution of a larger channel network<br />

to have a system and process in place for managing the indirect channel.” He explains that the processes involved with<br />

CRM are different from what’s needed to effectively manage the indirect channel. For that, you need PRM.<br />

It’s true that some CRM systems include features to support PRM, but he says indirect sales is different and warns that<br />

“most CRM systems are focused on managing the relationship between the ISV and the end customer. <strong>The</strong> focus of a system<br />

to manage the <strong>Partner</strong>s should be on the business processes between the ISV, the different <strong>Partner</strong>s, and their customers.”<br />

This may seem like a minor difference, but the amount of interaction required between ISV and <strong>Partner</strong> on<br />

opportunities, leads, and exchanging information means a CRM system can’t really provide that effective<br />

communication platform you need for success in the channel. With that said, communication between your CRM<br />

and PRM is critical to ensure complete visibility into customer data across the organization. <strong>The</strong>re are PRM systems<br />

available that have a tight data synch between the two systems.<br />

He explains that a true PRM system facilitates that communication and makes it easier for channel <strong>Partner</strong>s<br />

to sell by including critical features like: Opportunities registration, a way to receive leads from the ISV, access to<br />

content and tools, the ability to track MDF, and a forum for asking questions that also guides to additional info and<br />

personnel as needed.<br />

And with a truly effective PRM system, these features cannot be “one time only.” Both <strong>Partner</strong> and ISV need<br />

to be able to update information on leads and deals to show progress or additional information. Without this<br />

functionality, ISVs won’t have the visibility and influence they require, nor the intended bottom line impact.<br />

MANAGING YOUR PARTNER PROGRAM WITH 24-7 SONAR<br />

With this functionality, ISVs get a clearer view of the <strong>Partner</strong> relationship landscape. <strong>The</strong>y can quickly detect<br />

<strong>Partner</strong>s whose performance is sub-par, along with those who are excelling. With this 24/7 sonar, ISVs can make<br />

better-informed decisions rather than going about activities blindly.<br />

THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> 35


For example, PRM can help ISVs drill down into specific sub-par <strong>Partner</strong> performance – for example, a rep with<br />

laggard deal wins – and determine: Was the <strong>Partner</strong> once a champion who now needs individualized attention to<br />

be rejuvenated? Or are they simply loaded too heavily with leads and can’t keep up?<br />

ISVs can analyze the situation based on both the initial agreement between the two parties and the individual<br />

<strong>Partner</strong>’s performance history. Having all this info – assuming ISVs use it wisely – allows you to garner better<br />

influence over <strong>Partner</strong> behaviors by tailoring activities to <strong>Partner</strong> performance.<br />

Show <strong>Partner</strong>s You Want to Make the Relationship Easy and<br />

Mutually Beneficial<br />

PRM systems have continued to increase in functionality, and some are also decreasing in price. Even the<br />

smallest boot-strapped start-up can enable ongoing communication, exchange of deals and leads information,<br />

MDF tracking, and answering <strong>Partner</strong> questions.<br />

When ISVs exercise their influence through deal registration, lead distribution, and their MDF program – all of<br />

which can be managed easily through the right PRM solution – they can motivate, reprimand, and incentivize when<br />

and where it will be most effective.<br />

This visibility, which lends itself to offering individualized influence, is incredibly powerful and is potentially even<br />

more effective than just having direct control over your <strong>Partner</strong>s. Certainly, it is far more efficient especially when<br />

facilitated through the automated processes of a PRM solution.<br />

MARKETING<br />

Becoming<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Total Package” for Your<br />

Customers<br />

story by MICHELLE ETHERTON<br />

illustration by SETH REXILIUS<br />

<strong>The</strong> Total Package. When I heard this was the theme for the summer issue of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Channel</strong><br />

<strong>Magazine</strong>, I was thrilled. Working with Microsoft <strong>Partner</strong> and ISV organizations for many years –<br />

from inside and outside the organization – this very topic has been a common goal and a constant<br />

challenge.<br />

How do you convince prospects and customers that you are <strong>The</strong> Total Package?<br />

It’s a real struggle, and there are three things you can focus on right now to start seeing positive results.<br />

» Messaging: How do you define and articulate what makes you the total package for your customers?<br />

» Marketing: How, where, and when should you share this messaging?<br />

» Measuring: How do you know if the messaging is resonating?<br />

MESSAGING<br />

What makes you special? This is, by far, one of the toughest questions for our clients. Even though it’s a simple<br />

question, it is typically met with silence. If you don’t have a clear value statement to offer, then it simply hasn’t been<br />

defined yet. This is the core of what we do every day as marketing <strong>Partner</strong>s, and by the end of this article, you’ll be<br />

on track to answer this question – without missing a beat.<br />

If you really want to challenge yourself here, don’t think about products at all. Make it all about your customers.<br />

Realistically, they can find similar solutions elsewhere. Think about everything else you offer as a <strong>Partner</strong>. How do<br />

you help your clients’ businesses grow, thrive, profit?<br />

Messaging is Not Just About Words<br />

When you think of messaging, you probably think of words, but messaging is really directly related to your overall<br />

branding. It’s not just about refreshing your sales collateral or coming up with a better company slogan. It’s about<br />

presenting a unified and clear message (or brand, if you will) across every touchpoint of your company – from your website<br />

to Twitter, your marketing collateral to your trade show booth, and every communication both verbal and electronic.<br />

Some people respond better to words and facts, some respond better to visual stimulation like images or graphs,<br />

and some honestly just have to “feel” the right connection. That’s why you have to cover all your bases.<br />

This can be an excellent exercise to go through as an organization. Just like you probably recommend to your<br />

clients when developing a list of software requirements, involve the team here, not just a few managers or marketing<br />

people. Get input from those who work directly with customers on the front lines – sales reps, consultants,<br />

technicians, support staff – because they hear the praise and the problems every single day.<br />

Start with a list of questions to address. Maybe it’s a survey you ask each employee to fill out; maybe it’s a company<br />

roundtable with an open forum for discussion. Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions, even if it means learning<br />

you are doing some things poorly. You can’t fix it if everyone is afraid to talk about it.<br />

Some ideas for questions to start with might be:<br />

» What are our strengths as a company? As individuals?<br />

» Who are our customers? What are their expectations?<br />

» Where are we failing our customers?<br />

» How many customers have we lost in the last year? Why?<br />

» What do we want people to think when they hear our company name?<br />

<strong>The</strong> basic idea is to discover the gaps preventing you from being <strong>The</strong> Total Package and create a plan to bridge those<br />

gaps. Define what you need to do better, who will take ownership of the solution, and when you expect to see results.<br />

in entertaining and engaging ways. If you’re having a hard time coming up with ideas or don’t have the in-house<br />

resources to design, write, or execute it, outsource it!<br />

MARKETING<br />

Coming up with the right branding and messaging to convey you are <strong>The</strong> Total Package is one thing, but how should<br />

you share that messaging? This will be different for every <strong>Partner</strong> and ISV because there are so many marketing tools<br />

out there. <strong>The</strong> key is to focus on integrating as many channels as you can to reach as many people as possible. Start<br />

with the ones you are probably already using, such as:<br />

Your Website<br />

More often than not, products aren’t the beginning of a conversation with a prospect or customer, and your website<br />

is no different. Many <strong>Partner</strong>s get caught up in revolving their site around products and features because that’s the<br />

norm or what is most comfortable to talk about. But, it’s not always what your visitor is looking for – at least right away.<br />

» Make sure prospects quickly understand you are in the business of helping them solve problems. Use your new<br />

messaging, great visuals, and easy-to-read headlines. It’s understood you can sell them a bunch of products.<br />

That’s not a solution.<br />

» Use landing pages for more targeted messaging for campaigns. Here, you can really get that industry-specific,<br />

or challenge-specific, message across. Visitors have uncluttered, relatable messaging and a quick way to convert.<br />

Plus, it makes it easier to track performance for a specific market or segment of your customer base.<br />

» Amazing messaging is great, but ultimately you must make it easy for visitors to convert and take action. Make<br />

sure your calls to action are easy to access and use. And don’t hide everything you have behind a form. Save that<br />

for your high-value pieces.<br />

Your Email Campaigns<br />

Email is a marketing tool that is so widely used, it can lose its effectiveness very quickly without a strategy behind it.<br />

When you send too many generic emails that people just aren’t relating to, it can hurt your reputation and cause people<br />

to unsubscribe. Before you send another email blast to your entire list, consider these tips to improve your results:<br />

» Segment your lists. Whether you segment by industry, new versus longtime customers, products – or ideally all<br />

of the above – you can (and should) then invest the time and resources to develop more targeted and relevant<br />

emails. Include valuable insight, share industry-specific resources, make them personal.<br />

» Test, test, test. Almost every email platform includes the ability to do split testing or A/B testing so you can test<br />

different subject lines, different intro paragraphs, different send times. Use it! You can’t predict what people will<br />

respond to and when. It’s worth the extra time and effort.<br />

» Mix it up. If you only send HTML newsletters, consider mixing in some more personal, plain emails that at least appear<br />

to come from a real person. Put a face to your business so people feel like they are connecting with a person, not a brand.<br />

Your Social Presence<br />

Many <strong>Partner</strong>s and ISVs fall into one of three social media camps:<br />

» You have profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, community groups, industry forums, etc. and are<br />

consistently posting and engaging with prospects and customers.<br />

» You have a few profiles set up and started out posting regularly, but now you’re lucky to post once a month. You<br />

know it’s important but just don’t have time.<br />

» You have no social presence at all and don’t see the value, or perhaps you see some value but haven’t invested<br />

the time to do anything with it.<br />

Social does take some time, and you’ll want a strategy behind it, but there are tools out there to make it much<br />

easier through automation. It definitely deserves a place in your plan to become <strong>The</strong> Total Package.<br />

Here are a few baby steps you can take to be more social and reap huge rewards such as brand recognition and improved<br />

SEO, as well as being seen as a thought leader, experts in your field, and a company who cares about their customers.<br />

» Refresh. Take some time to either set up or revisit and refresh your profiles on all of your existing social sites.<br />

Do you have a great banner? If you currently are focused solely on the products you offer, change it up to include<br />

your commitment to customers – how you help them succeed.<br />

» Automate. Find a tool that allows you to schedule posts in advance and commit at least an hour a week on<br />

social media to start. You can even take turns amongst the team. List good content resources or use a tool like<br />

ContentMX to help you quickly curate relevant content from around the web, blogs, news sources, etc.<br />

» Interact. Congratulate a customer on an achievement, retweet a customer sentiment on products, answer a<br />

question on a LinkedIn forum, start getting involved.<br />

MEASURING<br />

All of your marketing should be measured to understand how, when, and why your prospects and customers are<br />

engaging with you and your message. More often than not, this is the step that gets overlooked. You don’t know how,<br />

you don’t have time, you don’t know what to do with the analytics. It doesn’t have to be overly complicated, but it is<br />

critical…or else you are throwing dollars out the door.<br />

» Set up and learn Google Analytics if nothing else. Track visits to your site, where people come in, where they leave, how<br />

long they stay, who engages with what. Use this insight to consistently adjust your site for flow, layout, calls to action, etc.<br />

» In addition to using your email platform to test as noted earlier, apply your analytics to do better. Document<br />

over a period of time your best-performing subject lines, send times, clicks, etc. so you can improve your results<br />

moving forward and not repeat tactics that didn’t perform well.<br />

» If you’re using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, integrate tools available to you like Social Engagement, making it<br />

easier for your team to monitor sentiment, interact with posts, and spot opportunities. Track engagement over<br />

time to ensure you are making progress.<br />

IN SUMMARY<br />

Those of us that work on marketing with <strong>Partner</strong>s and ISVs every day can understand and relate to your challenges.<br />

What is he/she trying to solve? Where does he/she look for answers? Why is he/she looking for a solution? <strong>The</strong>n<br />

respond with messaging focused on solving that person’s challenges, not so much on selling your products.<br />

BUILDING A COMMUNITY FOR PARTNERS<br />

have a unique perspective on change. On one hand, I counsel salespeople to help their clients make a<br />

big change in the way they do business. On the other, I help accounting and finance people change a<br />

process they have known their entire business life. Given those facts, my professional life is dedicated<br />

to helping people change. Personally, I don’t like change and find it very difficult. Until recently,<br />

whenever change came up in my personal or professional life, my initial reaction was simply, “NO!”<br />

AND THEN…<br />

It all started with a simple request by a local university to teach a course on entrepreneurship. My company was<br />

doing well and getting a lot of attention in the community, so I thought this would be a great way to give back a little<br />

and influence the next generation. <strong>The</strong> funny thing is I got more out of teaching the class than my students. It came<br />

all around one word: “Why.”<br />

IN THE PROCESS…<br />

While I was teaching a section on messaging, I came across Simon Sinek’s Ted Talk on what he referred to as “<strong>The</strong><br />

Golden Circle.” I know; hang with me here. Now, I had heard about this and had known about the idea for years,<br />

but for some reason I had never connected the principles of <strong>The</strong> Golden Circle with change management. I think<br />

one of my hang-ups was the name. For some reason it seemed like a scheme or a network marketing program. <strong>The</strong><br />

Golden Circle has three levels of understanding: What, how, and why. It struck me that knowing why you need to do<br />

something, or why something is being done, is the key to change management. <strong>The</strong> problem is, on the list of what,<br />

how, and why, most people tend to spend the majority of time and effort on “how.”<br />

HOW?<br />

In corporate America, we are such “doers”; doers to the point that we have a tendency to forget about why we’re<br />

doing what we are doing. It’s kind of like the Hatfield-McCoy feud that lasted almost 30 years. When it ended, the<br />

families were asked why they fought each other; no one could remember. Why we do what we do – our mission – is<br />

an important reminder that helps the tasks have meaning and purpose. How we do what we do is the means to an<br />

end and can help our tasks be as efficient as possible.<br />

BIG FINISH!<br />

To make a point (you are welcome) and to be very clear about change and the importance of doing change well,<br />

I think we have put change behind the wrong noun. When you think of helping people change, most think “change<br />

management.” Management will help you with the “how” and not the “why.” Leadership points to “why.” I did a study<br />

INTERVIEWEE<br />

Whit McIsaac, President and CEO<br />

VAR PROFILE<br />

AEC360<br />

AEC360 is a comprehensive business development solution for architects, engineers, construction companies,<br />

and the manufacturers of construction and building products. Built on top of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM <strong>2016</strong><br />

platform, AEC360 presents a series of tightly integrated business development and marketing modules that<br />

create a unique and highly configurable solution for the AEC marketplace.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Channel</strong> (TPC): What is the<br />

relationship behind c360 holdings and<br />

AEC360? Are they separate companies?<br />

Whit McIsaac (WM): Yes, they are separate<br />

companies, but under the same ownership.<br />

We have a new umbrella company, 360<br />

Vertical Solutions. Under that, there is c360,<br />

AEC360, and now a new company, Legal360.<br />

TPC: How did all of this come to be?<br />

WM: We started out as CRM4Legal and were<br />

one of the first vertical industry-focused<br />

Microsoft Dynamics <strong>Partner</strong>s. At that time,<br />

there were only a handful of <strong>Partner</strong>s building<br />

application layers on top of Microsoft<br />

Dynamics CRM. CRM4Legal saw a ton of<br />

success, and we were acquired in 2011. <strong>The</strong> group that bought<br />

us already had an existing team in place, so that made our team<br />

redundant.<br />

In an effort to remain close to the Microsoft Dynamics market,<br />

we bought c360 and began to bring that team back together. c360<br />

has a strong relationship with Microsoft and has been around a<br />

long time, building out relatively inexpensive widgets that can be<br />

installed in any CRM client. <strong>The</strong> c360 products span across all<br />

verticals, types, and sizes of companies.<br />

Whit McIsaac<br />

Soon after we purchased c360, we started<br />

looking for vertical whitespace to see where<br />

Microsoft had opportunity that they weren’t<br />

capitalizing on. We saw an opportunity in the<br />

architectural, engineering, and construction<br />

(AEC) space and began AEC360 in 2013. We<br />

now have 40 installations on that solution,<br />

and the success has been beyond anyone’s<br />

expectations. We’re growing and enjoying more<br />

and more momentum in this marketplace.<br />

TPC: How did you identify the AEC<br />

whitespace? What clued you in to the huge<br />

opportunity there?<br />

WM: We attended the Industry Summit three<br />

years ago and simply listened. We heard a lot<br />

about what was happening with healthcare and public sector,<br />

and we also heard some AEC grumblings. At that time, the<br />

Microsoft Dynamics AX team had the major focus on AEC, and<br />

there was not much CRM presence there. <strong>The</strong> flag went up and<br />

caught our attention. Plus, AEC companies go to market in a<br />

very similar manner as law firms do, and with our experience in<br />

that area, we knew we had something to offer.<br />

Ted Kempf runs the professional services industry for<br />

Microsoft Dynamics in the U.S. and asked us to do a talk for<br />

the Deltek Users Group. We didn’t know what to expect, but we<br />

found that out of the 125 AEC companies attending the meeting,<br />

hardly any of them were satisfied with the Deltek CRM module.<br />

We were surprised to find out that a number of these companies<br />

already owned Microsoft Dynamics CRM and had a very difficult<br />

time integrating to Deltek. So, after speaking to a few more Deltek<br />

groups, we built a tight integration with Deltek’s Vision ERP<br />

environment and developed a reputation as the company that<br />

could deliver an integrated CRM solution. This is really where the<br />

momentum started for us, as about 70 percent of our clients are on<br />

Deltek Vision ERP.<br />

TPC: Yes, huge momentum that led to winning awards like<br />

the Microsoft Dynamics Industry Award for WPC <strong>2016</strong>!<br />

Congratulations!<br />

WM: Thank you! This Industry Award is pretty incredible for us. Not<br />

only is it global and across all industries, but it also includes all of<br />

Microsoft Dynamics, not just CRM. We’re very proud and excited<br />

and attribute our success to the same methodology we used back with<br />

CRM4Legal when we won the Professional Services Award three<br />

years in a row. We’re bringing a preconfigured industry solution to<br />

market that allows users to see immediate results.<br />

TPC: Tell us more about that methodology? How exactly do users<br />

see immediate results and benefits?<br />

WM: When we bring in a pre-configured version of Microsoft<br />

Dynamics CRM to an AEC company, we don’t have to spend 60 to 90<br />

days learning the industry and their business. We show up ready for<br />

discovery with a preconfigured solution. This reduces cost and time<br />

for deployment because most of it is already built, speeds up time<br />

to value, and reduces the risk for our clients. <strong>The</strong>y immediately see<br />

exactly what their solution will look like and what that solution can<br />

do for them.<br />

From a user-adoption standpoint, this methodology allows us to<br />

focus our effort and energy on what data they have available, as well<br />

as how to harvest and integrate that data into CRM. When we can<br />

deliver CRM and relationship intelligence value right out of the box,<br />

it makes using CRM worthwhile and extremely valuable to an AEC<br />

organization.<br />

TPC: How do you help users manage, harvest, and integrate their<br />

data with CRM?<br />

WH: We built a tool called Sync360 that sits in between a user’s<br />

ERP/Accounting, Office 365, or Exchange Server contact records,<br />

HR/payroll systems, and project management tools capturing basic<br />

information such as who do we know, who are our clients, what<br />

projects are we doing, who is working on these projects, what’s their<br />

role, etc. <strong>The</strong>se firms have a massive amount of data, and our goal<br />

is to harvest and sync this information to leverage the data through<br />

Microsoft Dynamics CRM. <strong>The</strong> large percentage of manual entry and<br />

checking goes away. Sync360 grabs contact data from Outlook and<br />

pieces it together to form the relationships in the background. This<br />

way, our clients have a pre-populated database before they even start<br />

using the system, and they can leverage the relationship information<br />

for business development and marketing.<br />

TPC: What other challenges do you solve for the AEC industry?<br />

WH: Most of these companies don’t have a traditional sales team; they<br />

compete and win new business largely based on their relationships. If<br />

you think about it, clients don’t want a flashy salesperson selling them<br />

on the design, engineering, or construction of a building project if this<br />

person doesn’t have the professional expertise in their AEC discipline.<br />

Architects, engineers, and contractors are not professionally-trained<br />

sellers. <strong>The</strong>y are experts in their field, and one of the last things they<br />

know how to do is go out and sell their services.<br />

So we work closely with these AEC companies to help them<br />

communicate their experience, expertise, and professionalism to the<br />

marketplace, as well as to their existing customers and client base.<br />

It’s less about cold calling and more about identifying and engaging<br />

with people they already know and that need their services. Our<br />

AEC360 solution allows the players in this industry to understand the<br />

ecosystem around every project and how it’s all connected, helping<br />

them to understand these high-value relationships and leverage those<br />

relationships for new business opportunities.<br />

TPC: What’s next for AEC360?<br />

WH: We feel as if we’ve really just scratched the surface on the AEC<br />

side. Momentum has been incredible, and word is spreading that we<br />

know what we’re doing and our software and expertise can really<br />

help. We’re proud of the tremendous difference we’re making for<br />

AEC companies.<br />

We are starting to see a lot more international interest from groups<br />

that have offices all over the globe. So, we will continue to grow carefully<br />

and start doing international work where it makes sense. We<br />

don’t strive to be a huge company. Our goal is to be effective in our<br />

market niche.<br />

In addition to the AEC marketplace, we are preparing to move into<br />

the legal market with a new offering that will be branded Legal360.<br />

As we all know, history has a tendency to repeat itself, so with our<br />

knowledge of the market and our industry specific methodology, I<br />

have to believe that we will enjoy similar momentum and success in<br />

the legal market.<br />

LEADERSHIP<br />

HOW<br />

Rounded<br />

IS<br />

Roster<br />

YOUR<br />

story by TRACY FALEIDE<br />

illustration by DAVE SWANG<br />

Every season, initiatives pop up and roll through our organizations like “the wave” at sporting events.<br />

While reviewing quarterly results, problems to be solved and opportunities to be seized materialize<br />

like the legendary players who strode out of the corn and onto the Field of Dreams. And since<br />

we need to maintain business as usual while we address these problems and opportunities, we<br />

regularly look to cross-functional teams to get both the new and the old work done. All too often,<br />

though, these initiative teams fail to cross the plate. This season, it’s time to take a new approach to<br />

scouting and assembling your homerun teams.<br />

Just like at the ballpark, there are four fundamental bases you must cover to set your teams up for success. By<br />

rounding each of these bases and avoiding common errors, your initiatives will consistently put up the numbers<br />

while your organization benefits from a stronger bench.<br />

FIRST BASE: EVERY GOOD BALL CLUB HAS A GOOD MANAGER.<br />

Here’s how it usually goes: Senior leaders determine that a cross-department team needs to be formed to address<br />

a problem or market need. Each is asked to suggest a representative from their department. Representatives often<br />

are the first ones who volunteer, sometimes out of guilt or fear. <strong>The</strong>se people are invited to a meeting and given a<br />

10-minute briefing and then told to “go figure it out.” When the senior leader exits the room, the volunteers look<br />

at each other and wait for someone to take charge. After two or three agonizing minutes, that person who always<br />

caves first will emit a heavy sigh and step up to the plate. Although the rest are relieved, they will likely hinder their<br />

reluctant leader’s effectiveness by constantly questioning authority, goals, and processes. If you want a winning<br />

team, you must consciously, thoughtfully assign a strong leader and make it clear from the beginning that this<br />

person is in charge and has full support of senior management. Be sure this person’s decks are cleared appropriately<br />

so they have the time they need to focus on the team’s success.<br />

SECOND BASE: DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR LINEUP WITH ALL-STARS.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bigger your problem or opportunity, the more likely you will be to round up the top performers in each<br />

department, the ones who come through in the clinch. <strong>The</strong> ones who always get picked first. <strong>The</strong> ones who already<br />

are overloaded. <strong>The</strong>y won’t say no when you once again ask them to pinch hit because it’s not in their nature to<br />

do so. However, this “one more thing” will add to the resentment they may already feel about being overworked<br />

and taken for granted. Meanwhile, others who repeatedly get passed over get more frustrated, disillusioned, and<br />

disengaged. To avoid the unintended spread of resentment, look beyond the usual suspects to those up-and-comers<br />

who get the job done just outside the limelight. Seeing a chance to prove themselves, they will take their assignment<br />

very seriously. <strong>The</strong>y’ll bring fresh perspective, energy, and approaches to the table. <strong>The</strong>y’ll go above and beyond to<br />

succeed by showing their stuff. In addition to the rookies with potential, be sure to recruit a few utility players –<br />

those rovers who have broad skill sets and the ability to fluidly switch roles or approaches to fill gaps or shore up<br />

weak spots.<br />

THIRD BASE: GO BACK TO THE BATTING CAGES.<br />

Remember those volunteers looking at each other, waiting for someone to take charge? We often assume they<br />

know how they should approach their assigned task and what processes work best to get the work done quickly and<br />

effectively. But, if everyone in your organization was highly skilled in these areas, why would you need these special<br />

44 SUMMER <strong>2016</strong> | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM


THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | SPRING <strong>2016</strong> 45


project teams? Instead, think of each new initiative as an opportunity to sharpen your collective saw by bringing<br />

more people up to speed on the latest innovative ways to get things done. <strong>The</strong> temptation will be to instruct the<br />

team to learn new problem-solving skills as they go. But this can place too much burden at the outset, causing<br />

frustration over a slow and confusing start. Instead, take the team to the batting cages first. Bring in an expert to<br />

teach them new techniques and help them practice new skills. Be sure the team can ask for pointers throughout<br />

the project.<br />

FOURTH BASE: PLACE ROOKIES AND UTILITY PLAYERS WISELY.<br />

Another way to boost your performance overall is to thoughtfully space your lineup so your rookies, utility<br />

players, and all-stars get the opportunity to work side by side with new faces. Each has something to learn from the<br />

other, whether that’s fresh perspective, the ability to react and reshape quickly, or the winning attitude that always<br />

gets results.<br />

Covering these four bases will get you a long way toward success, but don’t forget the rest of the field and even<br />

the ballpark. Teams need to be accountable to report in to the owners – senior leaders and other stakeholders who<br />

are sponsoring the initiative, and who bring outside perspective and guidance that boost the strategic value of the<br />

team’s deliverables. Include mid-level managers in progress reviews so they are best equipped to serve as base<br />

coaches, keeping momentum going and helping to fine-tune on the field. And don’t forget the impact of those in<br />

the stands. Be sure your teams’ research, decisions, and designs are strong and sound by putting them in front of<br />

hecklers at a few points during their timeline. Give them the opportunity to get energized by sharing results in front<br />

of the whole organization.<br />

Last but not least, remember that teams who have fun while they work will achieve greater results. Make room<br />

for some of those big foam fingers or whatever toys, treats, or gear your teams want to strengthen their sense of<br />

unity. Encourage them to take breaks and recharge. Maybe there’s a ballpark near your office where they could<br />

spend a few hours watching other players round the bases. Batter up!<br />

HEADQUARTERS<br />

Irvine, California<br />

ARBELA<br />

Gain from our Experience<br />

ISV PROFILE<br />

ARBELA<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Channel</strong> (TPC): How did<br />

Arbela Technologies get its start?<br />

Tim Harris (TH): Arbela started in 2002 with<br />

three founding members who are all still<br />

with the company today. Two of them were<br />

Damgaard Data employees that brought<br />

Axapta to the United States. Microsoft then<br />

acquired Axapta, turning it into Microsoft<br />

Dynamics AX.<br />

At that time, there weren’t a lot of <strong>Partner</strong>s<br />

with a good depth of knowledge in the<br />

product, so Microsoft turned to our founders,<br />

Carsten Glem and Anja Fisher, and said, “We<br />

want you to start a consulting practice in the<br />

upstream accounts.” And Arbela was born!<br />

TPC: What type of expertise do you bring to the table today?<br />

TH: Our organization is pretty broad with Microsoft Dynamics<br />

AX, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, BI, Power BI, Office 365, and<br />

Azure practices, but our primary focus is Microsoft Dynamics<br />

AX for configure-to-order type manufacturing. Most of our<br />

clients are in aerospace, building materials, life sciences, retail,<br />

and high-tech industries.<br />

Although there’s no magic recipe for each organization,<br />

there are a few common traits. Our clients are U.S.-based and<br />

trying to compete with Chinese and foreign supply. <strong>The</strong>y need<br />

to streamline customer service by providing fast turnarounds<br />

on delivery times, ideally a 24- to 48-hour turnaround time.<br />

Arbela provides solutions that help them streamline order<br />

configuration, planning, and on-demand supply.<br />

TPC: Tell us more about those solutions.<br />

TH: Our products for Microsoft Dynamics AX streamline<br />

security, master data centralization, business intelligence, and<br />

financial consolidations.<br />

Tim Harris<br />

Arbela Security Manager for Microsoft<br />

Dynamics AX provides our clients with<br />

everything from license compliance to<br />

security best practices. It also has an in-depth<br />

segregation of duties and auditing capabilities<br />

in the tool. We have more than 100 customers<br />

on this product.<br />

Master Data Centralization allows you to<br />

manage your data centrally. For large multientity<br />

implementations, they leverage this tool<br />

for their complex international requirements.<br />

One Step Consolidation streamlines the<br />

consolidation process from 14 steps to one<br />

step on a normal month-end closing period,<br />

specifically helping with multi-currency<br />

consolidation and auditing.<br />

We also have a new product coming out called Arbela Data<br />

Insights. It’s a cloud-based data warehouse that extracts sales,<br />

purchasing, manufacturing, inventory, and financial data out of<br />

the Microsoft Dynamics AX environments. <strong>The</strong> content packs<br />

for the new release of Microsoft Dynamics AX use OData feeds,<br />

which have a limited reporting time window and can only be<br />

refreshed periodically. We have hundreds of KPIs, reports, and<br />

dashboards based on that data in Microsoft Dynamic AX 2012 and<br />

the new release of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Two of our customers<br />

are going live now and are extremely impressed with the solution,<br />

so much that our analytics team received a standing ovation when<br />

we presented this to our recent customer sales team.<br />

TPC: You can’t beat a standing ovation! That’s a ton of<br />

great time-saving features and functionality. What would<br />

you say is the number ONE way you help manufacturers,<br />

distributors, and retailers?<br />

TH: Big picture, we help North American companies stay<br />

competitive against foreign manufacturing. We help them undergo<br />

ESTABLISHED<br />

2002<br />

“”<br />

“We have worked with multiple software vendors<br />

over the years installing a variety of products, but Arbela has<br />

proven to be a truly exceptional <strong>Partner</strong>.”<br />

Christopher Meissner, President of Meissner Filtration Products<br />

a digital transformation, so they can place more focus on where they<br />

want to be. Whether that means leveraging machine learning or simply<br />

defining a unique value proposition in order to be competitive in the<br />

future with elements like the internet of things and big data.<br />

TPC: How about Arbela’s unique value prop? How do you stand<br />

apart from the rest?<br />

TH: We are not the largest consulting <strong>Partner</strong>, but we strive to be the<br />

most intimate. Arbela consultants focus on customer intimacy and<br />

having those strategic conversations that result in providing our clients<br />

with a complete business solution. We’re proud to hold a 98 percent<br />

customer retention rate. Part of our approach to projects is to ensure<br />

that our customers truly are the owners of their system by the end of the<br />

project, and we actively manage the project in a way that transitions the<br />

ownership from the consulting <strong>Partner</strong> to our customers. <strong>The</strong> high level<br />

of adoption and success of our projects are reflected through this strategy.<br />

TPC: Tell us more about your approach in providing your<br />

customers with what they need to run a successful business.<br />

TH: We don’t go into features and functions; we make a point to talk<br />

strategy with our clients. We now have a total package and wide-solution<br />

offering that streamlines multiple areas of business. <strong>The</strong> days of point<br />

solutions are disappearing. Microsoft is creating a homogeneous stack,<br />

and in the last 18 months or so, we’ve expanded our footprint to provide<br />

that for our clients. Technology like Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft<br />

Dynamics AX, Azure, Power BI, and Office365 has really elevated so our<br />

clients and even our own company can take advantage of them together.<br />

TPC: How are you seeing this advanced technology change the market?<br />

TH: With Cloud making up a bigger part of our customers’ software<br />

stack, they are struggling to keep up to date with all the latest changes<br />

and rapid release cycles. We work to educate our customers on these<br />

new capabilities, but more importantly, how they could apply to their<br />

business. This is done through email marketing, webinars, blogs, and<br />

developing a customer portal site. If you look at Office 365 as an example,<br />

the rapid innovation of offering and capabilities is expanding quickly,<br />

and where IT used to struggle with the management of the server, they<br />

now struggle with staying on top of product innovations and mapping<br />

that to growth initiatives. We help bridge that knowledge gap.<br />

TPC: Switching gears to the <strong>Partner</strong> side, what does your <strong>Partner</strong><br />

model look like?<br />

TH: We basically have a three-tier approach to working with <strong>Partner</strong>s<br />

as we strive to be flexible on whichever way works best for the <strong>Partner</strong>.<br />

Our third tier is our referral <strong>Partner</strong>s. <strong>The</strong>y refer the work to us,<br />

and we do the pre-sale, implementation, and support. <strong>The</strong> second tier<br />

is where the <strong>Partner</strong> goes in and brings in the deal, but we do the<br />

implementation and support. And the top tier is where the <strong>Partner</strong><br />

does everything, and we do the <strong>Partner</strong> training and implementation,<br />

but they support it and are their customers’ point of contact.<br />

We find this three-tier approach is <strong>Partner</strong>-friendly, but the most<br />

common approach is for the <strong>Partner</strong>s to let us take it all on. Some<br />

<strong>Partner</strong>s may be skilled and capable, but most lean on us to provide<br />

that level of expertise and support for their clients that developing<br />

these products has allowed us to gain.<br />

TPC: What do you like most about working in the Microsoft<br />

Dynamics <strong>Partner</strong> community?<br />

TH: It has grown and matured so much in the past 10 years:<br />

Consolidations and maturity of the marketplace as well as improved<br />

methodology and success rates. It’s exciting to be part of a community<br />

that’s secure, competes well, and shows innovation. It’s safe to say<br />

we’ve knocked out the SAPs and Oracles of the world with our<br />

capabilities, and that’s something to be proud of!<br />

MEMBERS ONLY CORNER<br />

Member<br />

Profile<br />

CAL Business Solutions is a Connecticut-based Microsoft Dynamics GP <strong>Partner</strong> with 30 team members.<br />

One client described the company as the “nuts and bolts guys.” CAL Business Solutions is a practical,<br />

hardworking team that has built its reputation on giving honest advice and being easy to work with.<br />

What are some of your summer highlights?<br />

I spend the winter in Florida, and at the beginning of summer, I travel back to Connecticut. I’m blessed<br />

to be able to enjoy the sunsets to the west of our home in Connecticut. I enjoy bike riding and cruising on<br />

my pontoon boat on Highland Lake. It’s been a great way to relax, spend time with family and friends, and<br />

disconnect from the everyday pressures.<br />

What is your favorite thing about working in your role?<br />

<strong>The</strong> opportunity to connect every day with our customers. I have the pleasure of speaking with new<br />

prospects during a discovery call or having great conversations with existing customers by offering advice<br />

and suggestions to help continue to make their business better.<br />

George Mackiewicz,<br />

President<br />

What advice did you learn early in your career that holds true now?<br />

Be honest and do the right thing. I want our customers to buy from us because they feel like they have<br />

been offered the best advice and help; I want them to make their own decisions based on the information<br />

I provide them. I want it to be a conversation and not a sales pitch.<br />

How do you handle the summer slowdown or summer speed-up at your company?<br />

Our business is pretty steady throughout the year; however, our busiest time is December and January<br />

since most of our customers would like to be live the beginning of the new year. During the summer, we<br />

like to take the opportunity to connect with our existing customers regarding upgrades. If you have a good<br />

product mix, you will be busy all year long.<br />

What is the most beneficial aspect of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Channel</strong>’s membership program for your<br />

company and why?<br />

<strong>The</strong> opportunity to read about best practices in the quarterly magazine. I personally love <strong>The</strong> List and<br />

utilize it often. <strong>The</strong> List helps me find the best solution as well as read about other solutions that I may<br />

need at a later time.<br />
